Lake Bluff Brewing Company

Established in 2010, the North Shore brewery is run by two local beer lovers who began brewing craft beer out of their houses. The brewery's mission, according to its website, is to be the greatest company on the planet (or at least the North Shore) by brewing the finest beer possible. In addition to beer, wine and food are also on the menu. Soups, thin crust handmade pizzas for two and sandwiches, like a pulled pork sandwich and grilled pastrami panini don the menu, which is also kid-friendly. Daily specials, events and community events are part of the experience at this local brewery, which also offers brew tours and sells merchandise like growler koozies, T-shirts and baseball hats.
